I gave this as a gift to my husband two years ago, and we are still bragging about this ice cream maker.  The only downside is that it is an attachment, and you must already own a Kitchen Aid stand mixer.  Other than that, I have never made ice sream so fast, easy, and clean.  The bowl must be set in the freezer for at least 10 hours before making ice cream, and you simply replac...

The 1GB PNY attache is a perfect complement for anyone who is going to school.  It is very portable, and comes with a lanyard attachment that hangs around your neck, or you can take that off and put it on your keychain.  Other than that the 1GB is a standard size, but may not seem enough for people who want to transfer bigger files such as video files of higher quality.  However,...

While browsing my local Wal-Mart one day I was looking for a cheap flash drive, and one from PNY caught my eye.The PNY Attache offers just about everything you'd expect of a flash drive in the price range of ten to fifteen dollars. Plug it into your USB port and voila, portable storage. It's small enough to hang on my keychain and the two gigabytes is enough for whatever I need, mostly ...

Flash drives keep coming down in price, and because of their usefulness, I just couldn't resist buying one...and I'm pretty happy with my purchase. The drive is somewhat small, although it could be smaller. The drive itself actually has a removable plastic casing around it, making it a little bulkier than it needs to be. The cap is also not attached, so if you're prone to losing thi...

Well. As a struggling student who loves her hair, I decided to skimp on some money and instead of purchasing a stand up dryer, I got a great idea to get a soft bonnet dryerfrom Gold HOt. Only $7.99! Could I go wrong? Eek. I think I did... This thing. Wow. Well, let me tell you how it works. You attach it to a hair dryer through a hose like tube. The heat from the blowdryer will cause the s...

ok, so this is the first usb flash drive i've ever had, and i'm very impressed. it worked great right out of the box and was super easy to setup. the capacity is huge, even though two gigabytes doesn't seem like much. i've loaded music, movies, and pictures on it and haven't had any troubles. it took me about one minute to set it up(45 seconds of that was getting it out of t...

I bought STIHL Weed Whacker KM 55 RC two years ago. It is a neat, powerful tool, a bit on the pricy side, but STIHL is considered the best brand out there, and I did not want a cheap version that would not last me one season. I also purchased a rototiller attachment, so I have been using this weed wacker both to prepare soil and trim weeds.The first season everything was fine, no complaints. Th...

I have a backyard garden of Rose Bushes of assorted colors and varieties and every year the blooms are so vibrant with color and last for a long time.  I contribute this to all my husbands hard back breaking working and Miracle Grow.  I now use Miracle Grow for all the flowers and plants that are in our yard.  Everyone comments on how full and colorful the bushes and flowers in t...

I purchased the Bissell Powerforce Turbo Bagless vacuum cleaner from Walmart about 6 months ago. My old vacuum just wasn't doing to trick anymore. But it had lasted me several years, and I didn't pay much for it at all so it wasn't a huge loss. We went shopping at Walmart and checked out their selection. I had decided upfront I did not want to spend a lot on a new vacuum. I don'...

Everyone who cooks should own a Kitchen Aid stand mixer.  So versatile, they can be used not only for mixing doughs for bread and cookies (one of the attachments is a dough hook), but also for whipping your own cream or even something as simple as mixing mashed potatoes.  It comes with a wire whisk attachment, a dough hook and a flat beater, and the neck unlocks to raise the attachmen...

My daughter has this KitchenAid Mixer.  She needed to make a large batch of cookies and I was going to help her.  I have always had the hand mixer type in my kitchen and I was anxious to try her new mixer.  I must say I was hooked after I saw it.  It's a beautiful color of blue and something I would leave out on my countertop instead of hiding it in a cabinet.  The ...

We have one of these hanging in our son's crib, and use it to help him get to sleep at night.  He is fascinated by the lights, bubbles, and peek-a-boo motions of the characters.  The music is soothing, and has rainforest birds and frogs chirping in the background. There are different volumes, and some of them are loud enough to play over any white noise you having going in the ro...

Want something powerful yet compact to clean your car or van? This is the product for you then. I use this Black & Decker Car Vaccum in my van. I have a 12 volt outlet in the back of my van that I plug it into. I like the fact that I don't have to drag out a long extension cord to use with a corded vaccum when it's time to clean the van. I simply plug this i...

I love this vaccuum. I bought it because I wanted the attachments. Now mind you, it doesn't have a lot of attachments but the ones it does have are plenty. It has a regular arm, and extender to that, a brush attachment, and a more narrow attachment. It has plenty of power. The bag is so easy to change with no mess involved. You just take the full bag out and pop another in the hole and you&...

One can't really help but to be thankful and appreciative of the new (but not SO new) technology and "mucho" convenience that is the flash drive. With the creation of these, floppy disks are simply a thing of the past - and to be completely forgotten about due to its considerably pathetic capacity at only 1.44MBs, as compared to capacities much, MUCH higher than that. Don't ge...

I really love this product! I spent a lot of time looking for a good bassinet and this one is great. It is a really sturdy product and was pretty easy to put together. It has a large canopy on top that easily lowers to get to baby. The entire side is open so it gives you plenty of room to reach inside or see the baby. The bottom of the bassinet has a small storage basket. The best part is the m...

      We have only one little tree on our property, so I thought we weren't going to have a big problem with our yard being covered in leaves in the fall. Well was I wrong, our yard collected the leaves from everyone else trees.        So my husband went out to get a leaf blower,   he came back home with a 16 gallon Shop Vac, ...

We learned very early on about Jordan's love of bouncing.  At about 4 months old, he was bouncing in our arms.  He just loved to bounce.  Yes, he was and still is a bouncing baby boy.Finding something to amuse him was not easy in the beginning.  We bought a swing which he did not like much and would not stay in for very long.  Then, we got the Deluxe Jumparoo made b...

As a female who is hot blooded to begin with, menopause was a sheer delight. (Can you detect my sarcasm?)  I am always looking for a way to cool off. Being naked at my age is not something the world would appreciate, so I had to find a different approach. I came across these little fans in Walmart. The cost was just $1.00 and that included 2 AA batteries, so I immediately assumed it was a ...

I have used a lot of vacuum cleaners in my time and I've never really been happy with any of them until now. I have two cats, one of them being long-haired, and three birds. Needless to say I have a lot of dust, dander and pet hair in my house and on my furniture. My Husband bought me the Bissell Pet Hair Vacuum for Christmas (because I told him to). The first time I used I was amazed at ho...
